Criminal charges were filed today against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty in connection with the "text message scandal" that has enveloped the Mayor's office.There are 12 criminal counts in all, including obstruction of justice, conspiracy, misconduct in office and perjury.
"It is perjury if there is lying, and perjury is a crime," said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in announcing the charges, "Even children understand that lying is wrong."
This prosecutor needs to whip out her law books. I'm pretty sure we established somewhere around 1998 that lying under oath wasn't a felony if it was about "getting you some".
I mean c'mon, surely we wouldn't have a spouse of a public official actually receiving votes for president if she supported her husband when he committed perjury for a BJ. Right?
